Experience

Assisted CoxHealth, based in Springfield, Mo., in completing an affiliation transaction with Skaggs Regional Medical Center in Branson, Mo. The intricate transaction involved not only a name change — Cox Medical Center Branson — but a restructuring of the parties’ governance structures, including the designation of CoxHealth as the sole corporate member of Skaggs (in place of a previous board of trustees that comprised more than 100 local community leaders). This major strategic addition to the CoxHealth system, which consists of five hospitals and more than 84 clinics in 24 communities, was a primary initiative for the client during the past two years.

Helped guide the completion of SCL Health System’s sale of Providence Medical Center and Saint John Hospital to California-based Prime Healthcare Services. The sale was completed April 1, 2013, less than three months after Prime Healthcare was selected as the preferred bidder in a nationwide auction process conducted by Citigroup Inc., during which time all negotiations, due diligence, licensing, regulatory approvals, transitional information technology support arrangements and other prerequisites were completed or obtained.

Advised Saint Luke’s Health System in Kansas City, Mo., on regulatory and compliance matters and on medical staff and physician relationships.

Worked on information-technology transition issues on behalf of Children’s Mercy Hospital in the sale of its managed-care business — operating under the name Family Health Partners (FHP) — to Coventry Health Care, which runs a nationwide managed-care business headquartered in Bethesda, Md.
